Find the length of BD. Round to the nearest whole number.
BC:
tan54 = BC/38
BC = 52.3
CD:
tan52 = CD/38
CD = 48.6
Therefore, BD = 52.3 + 48.6 = 100.9 = 101
500
What is the length of a ski run with a vertical drop of 1100m and angle of elevation of 24.4 degrees. Round to the nearest metre.
sin24.4 = 1100m/ hypotenuse
h = 1100m/sin24.4
h= 2663m
